"Fifty billion crystal stones? Are you kidding? Is a single herb worth that much?"
"No way! Starting at fifty billion crystal stones? Wonāt the final price be over a hundred billion?"
"Fifty billion crystal stones, I couldnāt earn that much in a lifetime, Iām not even worth a single herb!"
The juniors who had followed along in the auction house were all left gaping in shock by the starting price of fifty billion crystal stones.
"Over a hundred billion crystal stones, yet still thousands of times cheaper than a Celestial Immortal grade elixir, capable of helping a Heavenly Emperor enhance their cultivation, which is a rare opportunity indeed. Zi Xian Pavilion auctioning this herb surely has its value, Iāll offer seventy billion crystal stones," a sect master said indifferently.
For those who had reached the level of Heavenly Emperor, relying solely on spiritual energy to cultivate was simply a pipe dream for enhancing their realm.
Without elixirs, herbs, spiritual liquid, heavenly treasures, and the like, one couldnāt improve their realm in the slightest.
"The herbās spiritual energy is extremely pure and abundant; it can definitely enhance cultivation considerably. Iāll offer eighty billion," another sect master interjected.
"Youāre not an alchemist yet want to covet rare herbs? What a waste! This herb can refine a Divine Elixir, and in your hands, itās simply squandered." At this moment, a cold and arrogant voice from Dan Yuzi echoed from a VIP box on the second floor.
"Refine a Divine Elixir?" The crowd was astounded, their eyes bulging.
They never imagined that the Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance could be used to refine a Divine Elixir.
A Divine Elixir is a priceless treasure, an elixir countless strong people dream of obtaining.
That the Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance could be used to refine a Divine Elixir, just for this alone, makes the herb surely worth a hundred billion crystal stones!
"Iāll offer a hundred billion!" Dan Yuzi said, placing his bid.
The entire venue fell silent instantly. Although the strong from various great forces wanted the Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance, they dared not contend with Dan Yuzi. Offending Dan Yuzi would be akin to seeking death.
In front of Dan Yuzi, they could only swallow their anger, not daring to show any disrespect.
"Elder Liu, announce it," Dan Yuzi said arrogantly, seeing the entire room fall silent, appearing all in control.
Liu Yuanxi nodded respectfully, then said, "Since no one is bidding, I announce that the winner of the Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance is..."
"Two hundred billion crystal stones!" A voice suddenly resounded from another box, interrupting Liu Yuanxi.
"Two hundred billion? My goodness! Did I hear that right? A direct increase of a hundred billion crystal stones!"
"Who is that big shot daring to bid against Master Danhun?"
"Arenāt they afraid of offending Master Danhun? Who dares provoke Master Danhun in the entire Heavenly Realm? And is the herb really worth that much? Two hundred billion crystal stones, and someone dares to bid?"
Hearing the voice from another box, everyone was again startled, eyes sweeping towards that box in amazement.
Either they didnāt speak, or they made a stunning move once they did.
Moreover, directly adding a hundred billion, such boldness was enough to get peopleās blood pumping.
"That voice is... the Alliance Hierarch! It must be the Alliance Hierarch!" Ye Wujing recognized Feng Wuchenās voice, confident that it was indeed Feng Wuchen.
In the other box, Dan Yuziās old face turned exceedingly grim; he never expected anyone to dare bid against him, the Divine Grade Alchemist, for herbs.
"The Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance is an herb for refining Divine Elixirs, your bidding is undoubtedly wastage! Squandering its value! You have no soul power, not an alchemist at all, your bidding insults the herb!" Dan Yuzi said coldly.
Anyone could hear that Dan Yuzi was already furious.
"It seems the Divine Grade Lord isnāt afraid of Dan Yuzi," Yi Changshan said with a smile from the floor.
"Pavilion Master, who is that Divine Grade Lord? Iāve never heard of such a formidable alchemist emerging from the Heavenly Realm," a curious elder asked.
"So young and already in the Divine Grade realm, the only one I know of is the Divine Grade Artifact Refiner from Ling Realm, but Iām not sure about an alchemist," Yi Changshan shook his head in response.
Yi Changshan had no idea the Divine Grade Lord they spoke of was in fact that very Divine Grade Artifact Refiner.
"Non-alchemists canāt bid? Zi Xian Pavilion doesnāt have such rules, do they? As a Divine Grade Alchemist, surely youāre not short on crystal stones, right?" Feng Wuchen chuckled coldly.
"Did he just imply Master Danhun has no crystal stones to bid? Is he trying to seriously offend Master Danhun to death?"
"Tired of living, is he? Offend Master Danhun, regardless of who he is, death is certain."
"So arrogant! Not even putting Master Danhun in his eyes, even the Great Elder of Tianzun Divine Palace wouldnāt dare!"
Feng Wuchenās words sent shivers down everyoneās spine at the venue.
Dan Yuziās status in the Heavenly Realm was well-known by all; offending Dan Yuzi in their view meant certain death.
"Moreover, how do you know Iām not an alchemist? Where did you conclude that I am not one? Is it only you, Dan Yuzi, who can refine Divine Elixirs in the entire Heavenly Realm?" Feng Wuchen continued with another line.
The moment these words were uttered, the hall burst into an uproar, each heart stirred into a colossal wave.
Could it be that the mysterious figure in Zi Xian Pavilionās other box is also a Divine Grade Alchemist?
"Refine a Divine Elixir? Just you? A nameless junior, I was refining Divine Elixirs when you were just suckling; if you can refine a Divine Elixir, Iāll kneel before you and make you my teacher!" Dan Yuzi retorted unceremoniously, undaunted despite not knowing the opponent.
As Heavenly Realmās Danhun, Dan Yuzi feared no one in alchemy.
Dan Yuziās words, filled with rage, silenced the crowd once more; no one dared speak, fearing they might offend Dan Yuzi.
"Worship me as your teacher?" Feng Wuchen paused, then chuckled coldly, "Thatās a fine suggestion, accepting a Divine Grade Alchemist as a disciple isnāt shameful. Go ahead, become my disciple."
"Hiss..."
Feng Wuchenās words instantly ignited the venue, leaving everyone utterly bewildered, frozen on the spot as if petrified.
Not shameful, huh?
Taking Dan Yuzi as a disciple with barely a passing grade feel.
How arrogant can one be? Such arrogance knows no bounds!
Even Liu Yuanxi and Yi Changshan felt Feng Wuchen was young and reckless.
In terms of seniority, experience, any fool could see Feng Wuchen fell short of Dan Yuzi, even if Feng Wuchen was also a Divine Grade Alchemist, he couldnāt quite match Dan Yuzi.
"Arrogant brat! I must see your weight and measure!" Dan Yuzi exploded in anger, unleashing vast torrential soul power, immediately launching an assault at Feng Wuchen.
"Is this the soul power of the Divine Grade realm?" Anyone with soul power was frightened out of their wits by Dan Yuziās immense soul power.
"That boy is undoubtedly doomed! This soul power is too terrifying!"
Yet when everyone thought Feng Wuchen was bound to perish, the terrifying soul power struck Feng Wuchen without causing any effect.
"What? How is that possible?" Dan Yuziās exclamation came from the box.
